Semiconductor equipment maker for etch, rapid thermal processing and dry-strip steps, built around acquired Mattson Technology.
Semiconductor equipment maker for etch, rapid thermal processing and dry-strip steps, built around acquired Mattson Technology.
Sells dry-strip, rapid thermal and anneal machines made by its Mattson unit in California, which Beijing E-Town-backed investors bought in 2016, so its engineering base is overseas while its owners and a growing share of buyers are Chinese. Orders follow fab construction, with service and spares for installed tools as ongoing income.
In one line: China's Applied Materials-adjacent RTP/etch equipment specialist.
Moat: narrow (IP / patents, customer qualification, process know-how). Inherited Mattson's RTP/etch IP and global customer base, now paired with China-fab access.
Headquarters: Beijing, China · Founded: 2016 · Employees: 1,270
